How come is Germany so tiny nowadays?

Isn't that why Klaus wouldn't sign the Lisbon treaty? Because he didn't want the Germans to try and reclaim what they lost after the war?

In high school I read: After the war 2 millions of Germans were evacuated from the former eastern territories (with areas specified). Maybe it happens that my teacher had done more research on this subject.

The same also happened to Poland. Ultimately, it was the decision of the USSR to exploit both Poland and Germany. For historical territorial disputes, Germany, Poland, Finland, Japan, China... would all find it rather difficult to reclaim anything, I think.
